Located about 35 miles from the city of Atlanta, Lake Dow is close enough to the city to take advantage of all the excitement is has to offer; however, it is far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet that living far enough outside of the city can bring. The golf course was designed by Dennis Griffiths who is quite famous. Lake Dow is well-known in the area for its beautiful, well-kept homes and its quiet, established community. Lake Dow itself is over 100 acres of stunning, tranquil water reserved for the members of the Lake Dow Community. In addition to the lake and golf course, Lake Dow residents have access to a pool, tennis courts, and gym area located in the clubhouse directly across from the golf course. The homes in Lake Dow currently for sale range from the upper $100’s all the way to well over $1,000,000. You can view the current homes for sale below.The area surrounding the Lake Dow Community has grown considerably over the last few years, and if you choose to buy a home in Lake Dow you will have access to almost everything you could possibly need within 5 minutes of your house.

http://activerain.com/blogsview/4730754/fall-fun-in-henry-county-gaFall Fun In Henry County GAFALL…what do YOU think of when you heard that word? Do you think of football and campfires, roasting marshmallows, or jumping in piles of leaves? For me, Fall makes me think of falling leaves and beautiful, vibrant colors, pumpkin pie, the inviting smells of fall candles, and snuggling up with a blanket, a satisfying cup of coffee, and a good book by the fire. Fall also reminds me that a few fairs are coming to town! I love fairs! I smell cotton candy and funnel cakes, I see ferris wheels, happy families, and bright twinkling lights, and I hear excited squeals, engaging music from the rides, and people telling me to “Step right up!” and try my hand at whatever contest they may have going on at the time. What fall fun are you and your family going to get into this season? From pumpkin patches to festivals to fairs, we have compiled a list of fall fun activities for you and your loved ones to enjoy! Pumpkin Patch at Yule Forest Hwy 1553565 Hwy 155 NorthStockbridge, GA 30281Phone: 770-954-9356Website: http://aboutyule.com/attractions/Yule Forest has amazing activities year round, but the biggest attraction in the Fall is the Pumpkin Patch!

However, weekend activities are extra. Some of the activities offered include the petting zoo, the nature trail, the hayride, and the pumpkin movie to name a few. Southern Belle Farm 1658 Turner Church Rd.McDonough, GA 30252 Phone: 770.288.2582 Website: http://southernbellefarm.com/index.php Southern Belle Farms is such a fun place to visit! I honestly didn’t think my kids would enjoy it as much as they did, but my daughter said it was “the best day ever!” In the fall, Southern Belle Farms has several (and for those that enjoy sophisticated language by that I mean A LOT) of activities for the entire family! Southern Belle offers a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, hayrides, jumping pillow, barnyard animals, cotton patch, and more! You can stop by Mimi’s kitchen and buy a treat which could be fried pickles, funnel cake, homemade baked goods (which are delicious), corn dogs, or any of their other goodies. In October, Southern Belle Farms has a pumpkin carving contest. Keep track of their website for details on that soon! From experience, I can say that Southern Belle Farms has such a kind, genuine, pleasant group of people managing and working at their business!

http://activerain.com/blogsview/4725533/what-is-real-estate-agent-commission-and-why-should-i-pay-for-it-What Is Real Estate Agent Commission and Why Should I Pay For It?I don’t know exactly where you are from, but a common question among buyers and sellers in Henry County GA,Fayette County GA and the surrounding areas is “How much is typical real estate commission?” Along with this question people often ask, “What do real estate agents DO to earn their commission?” This question may be followed by “What exactly do real estate agents do for ME?” or “Why should I pay a real estate agent commission?” These are fair questions. After all, this is YOUR money we are talking about. In the following paragraphs I will try to answer what real estate agent commission is, what real estate agents do to earn their commission with buyers, and what real estate agents do to earn their commission with sellers.REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONIn short, real estate commission is the fee you pay to your agent for helping you sell a home. Although this is not a set amount, typically the fee you will pay in Henry County and the surrounding areas is 3% of the sale price to the buyer’s agent and 3% of the sale price to the listing agent. Although there is no set rule, the seller is normally the one responsible for paying the real estate commissions. BUYER’S AGENT<img style="border: 0px; display: inline; float: right; margin-left: 1.5em; height: auto;" src="http://www.adamsonandassociates.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/129/buyers4-243x300.jpg">What exactly does a real estate agent do to earn their commission with buyers, or another way of putting it is what does the buyer’s agent do to earn his commission? To start with, if you are a buyer that has not been preapproved then the buyer’s agent will point you toward a few trusted lenders you can choose from in order to get a preapproval letter. You can read more about preapproval letters here. Once a preapproval letter is obtained explaining in what price range you have been approved, the agent will find out what exactly what you are looking for in a home or what the items are on your wish list are. This can include area, square footage, lot size, style of home, and amenities such as granite countertops, hardwood floors, etc. Then the agent should begin using MLS or FMLS, which are the multiple listing services used by real estate agents to advertise and display their clients’ homes that are for sale. Once the agent has found some homes he or she thinks you may be interested in they can email them to you for you to look through and decide which ones you would like to see. Of course, if you have found homes on your home you want to look at, you can add those to the list as well. After you decide which homes you want to see, your agent will set up a day to drive around with you and show you the homes. Once a day is chosen, your agent will need to call the listing agent of each home you want to view and ask them to verify with their clients to make sure that date and time works for the sellers. After all the calling is completed, your agent will typically plot out a course for the homes you want to view. This includes putting all the addresses in the best, most logical order for you to visit them in. As you probably already know, you most likely will not find “the one” on your first trip out to see homes. If you do not, you and your agent will have to continue watching for other homes you may be interested in, and the process of searching for homes, setting up times, and going out to see the homes will be repeated as many times as necessary for you to find the home of your dreams!Click the button below to create your personalized home search account!

Your agent can give you great guidance in this area. Also, if you want the seller to pay for a certain percentage of closing costs, you can put that in your offer. If you want the seller to leave the refrigerator and dining room table, you can ask for that in your offer as well. Along with this, you have to think about closing date. Do you only need a month before closing, or does your lender think he will need longer? Do you need to put a contingency in your offer that you cannot buy the house unless your current home sells? Your real estate agent should have the knowledge and experience to help you in all of those areas. I know some people don’t think they need an agent, and you are not forced to use one; however, you have to think about who is going to represent you and your interests as the buyer? If you ask the listing agent to write your offer for you, they are already obligated to the seller. So yes, they could write the offer, but legally they are not allowed to represent both the buyer and the seller. In other words, the seller’s agent is going to do what is best for the seller, not what is best for you. Sometimes, when an offer is submitted the seller accepts it, and you are under contract. Other times, the seller may come back with a counter offer. Then you along with your agent have to decide if you are going to counter again, or if you are going to accept the seller’s counter. If you are finally able to come to an agreement then you will be under contract, but the process doesn’t stop there.As a buyer, after you are officially under contract your lender will begin requesting documentation from you to process your loan. Also, after you are under contract, you will have a certain number of days that are specified in the contract to have an inspection done on the home. If you are using an agent, he or she will remind you of the time period you have for the inspection and more importantly will be able to provide you with a list of trusted, recommended inspectors. Once you choose an inspector, the inspector will tell you what day and time he can do the inspection. If you are using an agent, your agent will work with the seller’s agent to verify the date for the inspection works okay for the sellers. After the inspection is done and you as a buyer see the report, you may want to request that the sellers perform some repairs. If this is the case, your agent will put the specified requested repairs on an amendment to send to the seller’s agent. From this point, the seller can agree to do the repairs, agree to do only some of the repairs, or say they will do no repairs. The negotiations between parties regarding repairs can take a lot of expertise, patience, and negotiating skills so having an agent on your side is a great advantage! If all parties agree to the certain repairs and the amendment is completed then it is a matter of waiting for the lender to complete the loan process. The lender will be asking you as the buyer for more documents and information during this time. If you have chosen to use a real estate agent then your agent will be working during this time to make sure all of your contract paperwork and amendments are completed correctly with all required signatures. He or she will also be working to get the closing scheduled at a time that is convenient for all parties. A day or the same day of the closing if you use an agent, he or she will do a final walk through with you so you can make sure everything in and outside the home is as it should be with any repairs completed. Your agent typically attends the closing with you as well in case any problems arise or any questions come up. As you can see in most cases, a buyer’s agent spends a large amount of time with and for his clients including finding homes, setting up times with agents to look at homes, spending time previewing homes with clients, writing offers, negotiating paperwork, answering questions and providing clients with information and paperwork, ensuring inspections and appraisal are completed, negotiating repairs, ensuring all contract documents are complete and submitted to the appropriate parties, communicating with the lender, closing attorney, and listing agent, scheduling closing, and many other tasks not listed here. Hopefully this list has given you an idea of just how much work a buyer’s agent should and hopefully DOES perform for his clients. LISTING AGENT<img style="border: 0px; display: inline; float: left; margin-right: 1.5em; height: auto;" src="http://www.adamsonandassociates.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/129/iStock_000005369013XSmall.jpg">Not only do agents assist buyers, but they assist sellers as well. If you are a seller or potential seller, don’t feel left out. Your agent should be working very hard to earn his commission as well! Once you choose an agent to list your home for sale and sign the listing paperwork if you live in Fayette or Henry County GA, he will list you home on MLS or FMLS which are two multiple listing services agents use to list their for sale houses. This way, other agents can easily see which homes are listed if they have buyers looking for homes. Of course your agent will also put a lockbox on your door and a sign in your yard. Depending on which agent you choose, now many listing agents will advertise your home on various places on the internet such as Facebook,LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, ActiveRain, Blogger, Brivity, their broker’s website such as kw.com and the agent’s own personal website. Don’t underestimate the power of social media. We run paid Facebook ads for each of our listings, and these ads typically receive 200 to 700 clicks, meaning within just a few days that many people have seen your listing. Not only will your agent do social media marketing, but typically agents will send out an e-flyer with pictures and description of your house to their list of agents in the area. This could easily be a list of 500 people. Many agents now also send out postcards to certain areas near your home advertising your house and the great features of it. In addition to advertising, your agent will also help to set up showings for your home when agents call with clients who want to see your home. You should also make sure your agent is requesting feedback from the buyer’s agents who show your home so you can have an idea of what areas people love and what areas may need some work. Once you receive an offer on your house, your agent will represent that offer (in some cases there is more than one offer) and can give you an idea of what your net proceeds will be after paying off your mortgage, closing costs, and commissions. You can choose to accept the offer, send a counter offer, or not accept the offer. Once you do accept an offer the buyer’s agent will work with your listing agent to set up the inspection and appraisal, and if repairs are requested your agent will work with you to determine which if any repairs you agree to complete. Most of the time agents have a list of trusted contacts that you could use to help you complete any repairs. Your agent should also complete any amendments regarding repairs. The buyer’s lender will also order an appraisal to determine the value of your home. If the appraisal comes in lower than the sale’s price your agent can send in information to the appraiser about recently sold homes in your area that sold for a price similar to yours in order to ask him to reconsider the lower appraisal value. Once the appraisal is complete the buyer’s lender will be working to process the loan. Your agent will be working to ensure all the contract paperwork is completed and sent to the appropriate parties, to communicate with all involved to make sure everything is happening on time, and to schedule the closing when the lender gives the okay. Your agent should also attend the closing with you to answer any questions you may have and to be there to support you if there are any issues that come up. Hopefully you can easily see that if you have chosen a great agent, he will definitely be doing plenty of work to earn the commission.CONCLUSIONHopefully this info has given you some insight into a few of the many activities and tasks that agents carry out on behalf of their clients. Whether you are buying or selling a home these are both big decisions not to be taken lightly, and during the process many issues can arise where it would be more than beneficial to have a professional on your side. If you are selling and choose to use an agent, your agent will spend a good amount of money just in marketing your home, not to mention the time spent in setting up showing, negotiating contracts, writing addendums, completing contract and closing paperwork, setting up closings, and taking care of any other issues that arise. If you are buying and choose to use an agent, your agent will spend hours searching for properties, setting up showings, showing you the properties, submitting offers, working with your lender, helping you navigate through inspections and appraisals, negotiating repairs, completing paperwork, scheduling closing, and doing various other tasks. Taking a look at what real estate commission is and what an agent can and should offer to you can help you decide whether or not you want to work with an agent and why you should pay commission if you do use an agent to help you.If you enjoyed our blog and found it valuable, please share it on Facebook!

http://activerain.com/blogsview/4720963/moving-hacksMoving HacksMOVING… whether you are headed to Henry County, Fayette County, or any county, just the sound of that word strikes fear and dread and anxiety into the hearts of many. Gathering all the junk…I mean items…that you have collected over the years you have been in your living arrangement, putting them neatly and carefully in boxes, labeling boxes, hauling the boxes to a moving truck, loading the truck, unpacking – I don’t think anyone looks forward to the process. However, we have arranged a list of excellent moving hacks, tips, and tricks to make the whole process a little easier and hopefully less stressful!
Worried about your nice glasses breaking? Just put those drinking glasses inside of clean socks.
Put paper/foam plates in between glass plates when moving to prevent them from breaking. Think of all the time and hassle you could save by not having to wrap them all individually in bubble wrap or paper. Also, stack them vertically in the boxes to decrease the chances of breaking.
Take good pictures of the back of your TVs and computers before you unplug all the wires so you can easily see where to plug each wire back in later.
Worried about your bottles spilling out during the move? Unscrew the lid, put a piece of plastic wrap over the opening, twist the lid back on, and if you want you can pull the overhanging plastic wrap together over the lid and tie it in a knot.
Store all of your cords for iphone, computers etc. in individual toilet paper rolls and put them all snugly (with the holes facing up) in a moving box. No tangles for you when you start to unpack!
Remember to label your boxes on the side instead of the top so the labels can be more easily seen later. You could also consider color coating your boxes by room.
If you are having trouble finding the end of your tape to tape up the boxes, stick it in the microwaves for a few seconds. You should be able to pull it apart and locate the end.
Don’t you dare pull down all the clothes in your closet from the hangers and fold up them up. Leave them on the hangers, squish them together and put garbage bags around them. Think of all the time this will save you!
Put all of your personal essentials in a bag that you don’t put in the back of the moving truck. That way you don’t have to dig through everything later.
In the same style, pack one box with all the items you might need at the end of the day or the next morning, from the coffee pot, mugs, cereal boxes, and bowls to the toilet paper, towels, shampoo, and face wash.
Pack up your kitchen FIRST because really it is the most complicated, and unpack that room FIRST when you get to your new home. This will rid you of a mountain of boxes!
Use plastic wrap or cling wrap to wrap around your dressers, nightstands, and any other furniture with drawers as this will keep them from sliding open, and it will also prevent you from having to transfer everything in the drawers to a moving box.
Consider donating items you really don’t need. Contact a local charity and see if they will come to pick up things you don’t want or offer them to the friends that are helping you move.
If you have valuable items you don’t need but would like to sell, try Ebay or Craigslist several weeks before the move so that part of the work is already done.
Take all of the small parts from disassembling items in the move and put them in plastic bags with labels on them indicating what piece of furniture or item they belong with.
If you don’t want to deal with water everywhere, be sure to defrost your refrigerator at least one full day before moving day. This will save you some headache!
If you really want to keep your mattress clean, you can wrap a fitted sheet on both sides to keep it completely covered.
You can use a potholder to put any sharp kitchen items in during the move so you don’t have to worry about them injuring anyone.
After you put those cords and wires in the toilet paper rolls make sure you label each roll clearly so you aren’t confused later.
If you have tile or hardwood floors and are moving big items like appliances, you can spray some window cleaner on the floor in front of the heavy item as you move it to help it slide across the floor easily.
You can also put pickle jar lids or something similar under the four corners of heavy items to make moving them faster and easier on your back.
If you don’t want your table to get scratched you can cover the chairs with pillow cases and wrap a fitted sheet around the top of the table to keep it in great condition.
If you have luggage with wheels, consider putting heavy items in the suitcase for the move. It will make getting it moving it around so much easier!
Hopefully you or your spouse are handy with a toolbox. Make sure you keep a toolbox out until everything is packed because you never know what you will need it for. Then make sure your toolbox is one of the first things off the moving truck at your new home.
Worried about things getting scratched or broken in the moving truck? Take some of your pillows and blankets, put them in a garbage bag, and use them as padding in the open spaces in the truck to prevent items from moving or rolling around.
If you want to keep your fridge smelling fresh after you defrost it, you can put some coffee grounds or baking soda in a clean sock and leave it in the refrigerator until you turn it on again at the new house.
When it comes to packing boxes, apparently the trick is to put bigger, heavier items in smaller boxes and smaller, lighter items in bigger boxes. This makes the boxes easier to lift, and it also prevents heavy items from tearing through a bigger box packed with too many other things.
Want to be able to get a good grip on those heavy boxes? Cut slits or handles in the sides of the boxes to use as handles.
Decluttering and getting rid of items you no longer use before the move is an excellent idea; however, we would not recommend getting rid of any of your children’s well-used toys during this time. Moving can be hard for kids, and it may take a few weeks for them to get adjusted. You don’t want them crying for a toy you threw out at the same time.
If you are moving a mirror, you could try placing masking tape on it in the form of an X. This is said to help absorb shock if the mirror is jostled around in the move.
If you have jewelry that needs to be packed, you can use a toilet paper roll for your necklackes. String the necklaces through the roll and connect the clasp. This will keep them from getting tangled up.
For the rest of your small jewelry, you can put it in an egg carton. Make sure you close the lid and wrap it in some cling wrap to keep anything from falling out.
Do you have some items that you are worried may get broken in the move? Try double boxing those valuables to keep them from getting broken.

http://activerain.com/blogsview/4716782/sell-house-fast-henry-countySell House FAST Henry CountyAre you looking for a quick sale on your current home? The uncertainty of the time frame in which a house may or may not sell is an ominous deterrent for some people. Although there is no one who can give you an exact number of days it will take for your house to go under contract if you choose to list it, there are several things you can do to help your home sell faster! Below I will give you some points to consider when trying to sell a house fast as well as give you some local market statistics and statistics from our team’s recently sold homes. Price it right!!!If you are truly considering selling your house and the “ Sell House FAST Henry County ” title caught your eye, you need to be realistic about setting the price. Look at what houses are selling for right around your house taking into account square footage, number of beds and baths, lot size, etc. A real estate agent can do a CMA report for you which is a comparative market analysis which uses the sale prices of homes around you to give you an idea of what price range you should think about listing your house in. If you would like for us to do one for you just fill in the information below. And don’t worry…there are no strings attached to your asking for a CMA report! Sometimes selling a home can be an emotional ordeal, and we understand that usually there are memories, time, and love represented in your home. However, when it comes to selling a house quickly it is important to stick with the facts and be willing to set a reasonable price. This does NOT mean that you have to give your home or that you cannot get what you should out of the sale! In fact, setting a competitive price can attract more than one offer which typically fetches a higher price for you AND helps your house sell faster as well! Present it well!!!It is so vital to remember that presentation is key when selling a home! Some buyers do not know how to look past dirt, clutter, toys laying around, or dishes and appliances covering the kitchen sink. The little things do matter so cleaning and organizing, painting the front porch, pulling some weeds, patching holes in the walls, and even making sure the house smells nice can go a long way in getting your home sold as quickly as possible! We recommend starting on the outside. Drive up to your home as if you were a potential buyer and determine what areas you would most like to see changed and where you can spend the smallest amount of money but make the biggest impression. Then walk into the house and take a tour while still in potential buyer mode to identify any areas inside that need your attention before putting the home on the market. We are not saying you should spend a lot of money, especially not without discussing any of your ideas with your real estate agent. Your agent should have the knowledge to be able to help you decide which, if any, updates he or she would recommend. Some updates really do not add value in terms of obtaining a higher sales price, and you do not want to do extra work for nothing. However, the ideas mentioned above such as organizing, adding some curb appeal, and “sprucing” up any cosmetic problems should cost little but could help you win big when it comes to receiving offers on your home.Publicize it everywhere immediately!!!Never underestimate the power of advertisement, whether it be direct mail postcards, a webpage specifically for your listings, Facebook ads, blogs, emails, signs, or word of mouth. Getting the word out about your house through as many channels as possible at around the same time can generate immediate interest from multiple sources, especially if you have listed at a great price! “Blast” is the word we use to describe putting out a new listing or blog post or important page to as many channels as possible as quickly as possible. When people begin to see advertisements about newly listed properties not only will they themselves takes the time to read the information and scroll through the pictures, but often they will tell friends they know who are looking for homes about your house. One of the advertising pieces our team at Adamson and Associates uses is paid advertising through Facebook posts. Many people share our posts with their friends who are searching for homes, or they will tag their friends in the post. Obviously, the more people that share and engage with the post, the more visibility your listing gets! As somewhat of a side note, good pictures are an absolute necessity when blasting your listing out to every possible advertising venue. Potential buyers want to see actual pictures, not just read words on a page, and if there are no pictures most of the time people will just skip over any advertisements without even reading them. Having your listing not only blasted to the public but to other agents as well can be extremely beneficial! Other agents who see your listing may already have pre-approved buyers they are working with who will be interested in your home.Simply fill in the blanks below to receive your customized home value report!! Pick a Professional!!Choosing the right professional to help you with the home-selling process can be difficult because there are MANY to choose from. We encourage you to remember that you don’t have to choose the first agent you speak to about selling your home. You can interview as many agents as you want and find out a little more about their missions, visions, and values as well as what they offer you and what strategies they use to market you home and get it in front of as many people as possible, especially others agent and potential buyers. Below are a few suggestions of what to think about when choosing an agent. You can read more about this information here.Choosing an agent with experience and a proven track record can be a huge advantage. An agent with experience most likely already has an established network of professionals that you will need when buying or selling your home. This network typically includes closing attorneys, lenders, inspectors, and possibly repairmen as well. It may be obvious, but you need an agent who will work hard and do their best for you! Someone who is less diligent will struggle meeting deadlines and getting you to closing on time. Also in today’s technology-based society, finding an agent who is computer savvy and uses a good deal of internet marketing should be a consideration. Another thing to think about is that in real estate transactions often there is some negotiation to be done, so you will need an agent who is kind and friendly yet can still be firm when firmness is required. Although there are many other qualities to consider, the last one we will discuss here is honesty. No one wants to be scammed or treated unfairly, so finding an agent who is trustworthy can be the difference between a pleasant real estate transaction and a terrible one. Do your research when choosing an agent and ask for references, look at online reviews, even ask those agents you are considering for their previous year’s sales data so you can see for yourself how much experience they have.Please be available!!!If you want to sell your home fast you must be available and flexible! This should go without saying, but some sellers don’t realize how important it is to allow their home to be showed as much as possible. It is fine to ask for a few hours notice, but there will be times when agents have clients who want to see the house right away and they only call 30 minutes ahead of time. We understand sometimes showing in that amount of time is just not possible; however, doing your best to keep your house tidy and ready for showings can go a long way in obtaining a quick sale. Often when agents take their clients out to view homes, they set up several showings in the same day. Remember, if your house isn’t available for showing that day, the buyers could choose a different home without ever seeing yours. There are always going to be some times when a home cannot be shown, we just ask that our clients be reasonably flexible and available if they want to sell quickly.Profit from feedback!!!Feedback can be a touchy subject for some people, but we believe obtaining feedback is very valuable in the selling process. When our team lists a house and showing begin, we ask every agent who has shown the home to a client to provide us with feedback about the house. Agents will often give great insights such as what their clients loved about the home, what they did not like about the home, what they thought about the price, what repairs they thought may need to be made, what the overall presentation of the home was like, and even sometimes what the home smelled like (whether there was a pet odor or a clean, fresh scent). All of this information can be useful in getting your home sold if it used properly. For instance, if the majority of potential buyers who see the home say overall it is a nice house, but the carpet is old and stained then you could consider replacing the carpet or offering a carpet allowance. If many potential buyers say the home is cluttered and doesn’t present well then you could consider removing some unnecessary items and try doing some better staging. As you can see, being open to feedback can go such a long way in the sale of your home! Being willing to make small improvements or changes could be the deciding factor in someone choosing to send an offer on your home!StatisticsIn Henry County in June of 2015 there were 225 sold listings. These listings were on the market for an average of 59 days, and the average sale price was $171,986. The highest sale price during this time was $558,600, and the lowest sale price during this time was $22,500. The total sales volume for the month of June in Henry County was $38,696,181. You can read more info about this here.For our team at Adamson and Associates in the last 2 months we have had 6 seller closings with an average sale price of $207,000 and a list price to sale price ratio of 97.7%. The average number of days these six homes were on the market was 25.3. If you are looking for a quick sale on your home we believe we really can help you, and we hope these 6 points as well as the market statistics will be a valuable resource for you!If you are considering selling your home register here to see 47 Easy Ways to Make Your Home Sell Faster!If you are interested in buying a home here in Henry County, Adamson and Associates would be thrilled to assist you!

http://activerain.com/blogsview/4711874/best-life-hacks-using-a-dryer-sheetBEST LIFE HACKS USING A DRYER SHEETI had no idea that some of the best life hacks are done using dryer sheets! One great part of trying these tips is that you could try each one, and it still wouldn’t cost you very much at all. Let us know if you try them and how they work for you!
<img style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #bc471c; text-decoration: none;" src="http://www.adamsonandassociates.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/129/2015/07/FullSizeRender-375x500.jpg">Do you have a dish or pan with food stuck in it? Fill it with water and put a dryer sheet in. Let it soak overnight. The next day your pan should come clean quite easily!!!
Need an air freshener for your car? We know it is summer, and the smell of sweat can invade even the most polished person’s car. Instead of spending money on air fresheners, try sticking a dryer sheet carefully in your air vent (not deep down where you can’t get it out!). In my opinion very few things smell better than Gain anyway!
Is static causing a bad hair day? Either put a dryer sheet over your brush and poke the bristle through then brush as normal, or just rub the dryer sheet on your hair.
Do you have any hard water stains in your bathroom? I hear that a dryer sheet can take care of those too.
Bugs getting into your trash can? Try putting some dryer sheets nearby and inside to help keep them away. Also, try putting them at the bottom of your inside trash cans to help eliminate odors and soak up spills too!
If the gnats outside can’t get enough of you, put a dryer sheet somewhere on your body or clothes to keep those pesky things away!
Are you getting tired of those dead insects sticking to the front of your car? No worries. Wet a dryer sheet, wipe slightly, wait a few minutes, then come back and scrub with the dryer sheet. Bugs be gone!
Hate “dusting” but really just knocking the dust around from one place to another? Forget those dusting cloths and use a dryer sheet instead. The dust will stick to it, and you can throw it away when you’re done!
Supposedly, if your scissors are getting dull you can run a dryer sheet over the blades, and they will start cutting better. Hmmm…
Apparently not only can dryer sheets repel bugs but small rodents as well? If you have a room or place you are not in very often or that has had a problem with mice, leave some dryer sheets around to keep all the pests away and keep things smelling fresh!
Have a spider problem in a bulding with rafters? If you can get some dryer sheets up there, you should notice fewer spider webs and nests.
Have a problem with stinky feet? Putting a dryer sheet in your shoes can help clear the odor out and hopefully keep it away in the future too!!!
Have you ever gotten vigorous with applying deodorant and found those yucky white marks all over your clothes? No worries. Wiping a dryer sheet over those marks should take them off and leave you looking fabulous again.
Getting tired of all the pet hair hanging around your furniture and clothing? Take one of your handy dryer sheets and let it collect all of that hair for you. Then it’s easy to throw it right in the trash afterwards.
Noticing a nasty ring around your toilet? Don’t gross out your guests. If you are brave and have a pair of gloves, use a dryer sheet to wipe that ring off. From what I have read, it seems that used dryer sheets work just as well as new ones.
What is the best cleaner for your stovetop? I personally struggle to get stubborn food stains off the stove. After doing some research, a dryer sheet can clean up those stains as well. Who knew?!
Have you ever done any painting? If so you know one of the most difficult parts of painting is the clean up, but if you don’t clean your brushes you won’t be able to use them for very long. Letting your brush soak in some warm water with a dryer sheet will draw the paint out of the brush. How great is that??
I would try to create a catchy question for this one, but I know little to nothing about sewing. Supposedly, rubbing a dryer sheet on the ends of your thread will prevent it from tangling. Sounds good to me.
Have smudges from precious grubby fingers on your windows or mirrors? Try using a dryer sheet to wipe them off if it is time to clean up.
Want to keep that gym bag from turning people away? Leave a fresh-scented dryer sheet in it at all times.
Ironing is most certainly not my favorite chore, but apparently a dryer sheet can clean your iron too! Actually iron the dryer sheet with the iron on low.
For me one of the best life hacks…Have babies in diapers at your house? Before you throw that stinky diaper away, put a dryer sheet in it to keep the trash can in your house from having a bad odor.
If you thoroughly enjoy the smell of Gain dryer sheets as much as I do, you can slip one in your pillow case to keep it smelling fresh all the time!
Obsessed with having a home that smells fabulous? Stick a dryer sheet right in your toilet paper roll.
Do you or your spouse do carpentry projects? If so you know that saw dust tends to fly anywhere and everywhere. A used dryer sheet should clean that saw dust up in a flash!
Have a nice book collection on your shelf? Don’t let them start smelling old and stale. Stick a dryer sheet between some of the pages to keep your books smelling fresh and new.
Everyone has laptops and TV’s in their home, and most people agree they are a total pain to clean. Use a dryer sheet to safely and effectively get rid of the dust and smudges.
Ever walked in the kitchen to find your boys playing dump trucks in your flour? Teach them how to use a few dryer sheets to wipe and collect the flour and throw it away.
Trying to knock out some disgusting smells from your carpet? After you clean up the mess, put a few layers of dryer sheets on top with some coffee grounds on top of that and let it sit for several hours. This should get rid of the stink completely!
Sporting a nice, new pair of shoes but finding the squeaking is unbearable? Rub a dryer sheets over the soles to quiet them down quickly.
Headed to the beach this summer but don’t want to bring the sand home with you? Wipe yourself down well with a dryer sheet before hopping in the car or the condo to make sure the sand stays outside!
If your husband is as enthralled with survival information as mine is, he will find this interesting. Place a dryer sheet inside a toilet paper or paper towel roll tube, pinch both ends together, and you have your very own fire starter!
Did you run out of cloths for your Swiffer sweeper? Just pull out one of your dryer sheets and put it on the end of your Swiffer instead. Then be amazed at how well it does the job!
Are the soles of your feet not looking as great as they did in the past? Soak those tootsies in some warm water then rub them with a used dryer sheet to soften them right up. I haven’t tried this yet, but I plan on doing it soon!
Do you have deer eating the plants in your garden or snacking on your fruit trees? Tie a dryer sheet on one of the branches of each plant or tree so you can keep that hard-earned food for your family!
I don’t know about you, but I’m bad about cleaning my blinds. From what I have researched, if I rub my blinds down with a dryer sheet it will clean them up and help to repel dust for a longer period of time than normal. This way I won’t have to clean them again for awhile. Sounds great to me!
You cannot imagine how excited I was to find out that lightly rubbing a dryer sheet over a crayon mark will remove it quite easily! Amazing!
If you like to put plants in pots with holes in the bottom for water to drain out, stick a dryer sheet over the hole before filling your pot to keep the soil from washing out of your pot as well.
Have you ever opened your dryer to find a sticky mess whether it was from stickers or labels or crayons? Scrub, scrub, scrub with a wet dryer sheet to make the sticky mess go away without ruining your dryer!If you are considering selling your home register here to see 47 Easy Ways to Make Your Home Sell Faster!

Yes! All parents know the first day of school will be here before we know it! We wanted to give you a list of some of the best deals we have been able to find so far for the week of July 12th – July 16th along with some information about the store’s price matching policy. For now the best deals we have been able to find were at Staples and Office Depot, and we listed some of Amazon’s prices if you have a prime account and prefer to shop online through that website. Also, at the end of this post you will find supply lists for each of the elementary schools in Henry County GA that had their supply lists posted (4 or 5 did not). The schools are listed in alphabetical order. *Please note* The school supply lists would not fit on this post. To view the supply lists, go to our website here http://bit.ly/BestBacktoSchoolDeals. We have added item numbers where available or the URL for the specific item (Since these items came from weekly ads there were a few that included multiple item numbers or that we were not exactly sure which specific item was on sale because the item number wasn’t listed). We hope this list will save you some time when you hit the stores! Some of the Staples deals may be offered online with free shipping after a certain dollar amount. Please note that at Staples from June 28, 2015 through September 19, 2015 Staples offers a 110% lowest price guarantee on back to school items. This means that if you find a lower price at one of the competitors, Staples will match that price plus give you 10% off the price difference! If you do find a lower price bring proof in to the store, and an associate will match the price and do the discount for you. They will also do price matching if you are ordering online.

http://activerain.com/blogsview/4700852/4-things-i-love-about-henry-county--ga4 Things I LOVE About Henry County, GA<img style="border: 0px; height: 707px;" src="http://www.adamsonandassociates.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/129/2015/07/heart-850x1024.jpg">What’s the deal with Henry County GA anyway? I mean, what really makes one place or county better than another? Although I cannot determine that Henry County is better or worse than any other area, I can say that it is the county where I started in real estate. Not only that, it is the place in which I choose to live and raise my family. Since I live in Henry County GA and have become very familiar the area, it only made sense for me to not only begin a real estate career here but to take the plunge and build my own real estate team here as well. You know people say you only get out of something what you put into it. In my opinion Henry County GA has a lot to offer, and in my experience the more you put into the people and county, the more you really do get back! Some things I love about Henry County GA right now are the location itself, the fun, the people, and the growth.LocationI could just say that Henry County is in a very convenient location, but that doesn’t explain things very well. Henry County is about 25 minutes from the Atlanta Airport which is close enough to get their easily but far enough away to avoid the everyday traffic associated with the airport. Also, Henry County GA is close enough to the city of Atlanta to enjoy all the shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, events, museums, and entertainment city life has to offer, and it’s also far enough away to escape the “hustle and bustle” and constant activity that living in the heart of a city brings with it.FunIf you don’t want to travel into the city of Atlanta to find something fun to do, Henry County actually has various popular entertainment options located right in the county itself. Other than the NASCAR races, the Atlanta Motor Speedway has drag racing in the summer, a Christmas lights festival in December, and the Georgia State Fair in October. The Atlanta Motor Speedway hosts other events throughout the year as well. Noah’s Ark is another area attraction that people love, and it also has an incredible story which I encourage you to read on their website found in our list below. Noah’s Ark is an animal sanctuary that takes in many abused or unwanted animals and cares for them on their 250 acre property. You can walk around and visit the animals from 12 to 3 pm Tuesday through Saturday. There is also a picnic area and playground, and Noah’s Ark has various activities throughout the year as well. If shopping is on your agents, Tanger Outlet Center is located in Locust Grove and offers well over 70 stores for you to browse through! There are also a few places to grab some food or a snack because shopping in all of those stores is sure to work up your appetite. If you are looking for adventure, Hot Shots Paintball in McDonough would be glad to have you visit! I don’t know a lot about paintball, but Hot Shots has one of the biggest facilities around and will do events for just about any occasion you can imagine. If you like BMX bikes and racing you could check out Sandy Ridge BMX which hosts races and offers practice times on the track too. For a day of pampering and relaxation, Henry County GA is home to Scarlett’s Retreat Day Spa. Scarlett’s Retreat offers a variety of different types of massages, manicure and pedicures, and skin treatments. You can purchase these separately or in package deals. Nash Farms is a historic site in Hampton, GA that has numerous events throughout the year and usually has a popular fireworks display on the 4th ofJuly!Henry County GA has a LOT of parks, too many to name in this post (although we will be including a post just about the park soon!), so if you love picnics, playgrounds, and exercising in the park Henry County should be able to meet your needs! Henry County GA has a few farms you can visit where you can pick your own fruit, visit animals, and enjoy some fun activities with your kids. Southern Belle Farm in McDonough is a popular farm with a fun, friendly atmosphere that has some activities for kids too other than fruit picking. Gardner Farm in Locust Grove also offers pick your own fruit and veggies options. If you are a movie buff, don’t worry! Henry County GA has a theater too, the Regal McDonough Stadium 16! This place is where the action is on Friday and Saturday nights so make sure you get there in time to get your tickets!Enter your info below to receive a free area market report for Henry County GA!<form id="gform_20" style="color: black !important;" action="http://www.adamsonandassociates.com/general/4-things-i-love-about-henry-county-ga/">

I know there is a certain stigma that comes with speaking of things like “Southern hospitality” and a “down-home feel”, and things really aren’t always how they were in the past; however, the people in McDonough are truly friendly. I witness on a weekly basis people reaching out and helping others without hoping to gain anything in return. I have even seen business owners raising money for other business owners who could be considered their “competition.” Yes…here in the South we do talk to strangers, and someone may strike up a conversation with you while waiting in line somewhere just because they want to be nice. Some people may call this being nosy, but I call it trying to be kind and taking a minute to slow down and remember what is important in life…like other people.If you stay in Henry County long enough and visit some of the local stores, you will find that they begin to call you by name and genuinely seem happy you are there. The support for local businesses is growing at a rapid rate, and the small business owners in Henry County GA really seek to earn a great reputation by working hard, being honest, and trying to give back to the community whenever possible. Being a real estate agent in Henry County, I have had the enormous privilege of working with some of the most genuine and kind clients imaginable who I now truly consider friends! Many of these clients have been my biggest sources of new business, and they are part of the reason I was able to begin my dream of building a real estate team. Not only are the people in Henry County GA great, but the growth occurring in the county is incredible!Growth Certainly there are more new stores and restaurants opening than I could fit into this one post, but I will touch on a few of the exciting ones! One facility coming to Henry County GA that is creating quite a buzz is the Kensley Grace Aquatic Center! This facility will be a family-oriented aquatic center with activities for absolutely any person of any age. The center will have competitive swimming, aerobics, drown proofing, and other therapy. The blue prints include plans for a huge main pool area, a therapy and training pool, a family pool, and a few other areas such as training rooms and a snack bar! If you haven’t heard of Sky Zone, it is a huge trampoline park with “courts” covered in trampolines. There are several locations, but now one is coming to McDonough! At Sky Zone you can participate in “open jump” times where you just jump around and have fun or you can participate in fitness classes or scheduled birthday parties and other special events. If you search Sky Zone on google you will see a lot of great reviews about these places! In addition to some of these fun activity centers popping up in Henry County GA, there are also many restaurants getting ready to open. Just to mention a few, Panera Bread, Chipotle, and Five Guys will be opening in McDonough hopefully by the end of this year 2015! Panera Bread is obviously known for their delicious sandwiches made with fresh-baked bread as well as yummy soups, pastires, and other desserts just to name a few items. Chipotle is a Mexican restaurant, and in all honesty I have never eaten at a Chipotle restaurant! What I can tell you is that I’m excited to try it, it has amazing online reviews, and I love that they are not shy about cooking with ingredients without artificial flavors or fillers! When it comes to Five Guys, I have never heard a bad word uttered about this restaurant chain! I have many friends that would drive in to Atlanta just to eat here on a lunch break, and that happened on a regular basis. If you love an incredible burger and fries, this is the place for you! Don’t forget dessert too, since they serve milkshakes as well! Conclusion To wrap it all up, I feel blessed to live in Henry County GA. Owning and running a business here has been a truly pleasant experience, and I’m excited to see what the future holds! I love the location, the fun, the people, and the growth of Henry County GA!If you are interested in buying a home here in Henry County, Adamson and Associates would be thrilled to assist you!

Well, Geocaching has made it's way to Henry county, GA and is the featured topic of today's post about 25 fun things to do in Henry county, GA for free!
Geocaching is basically a "treasure hunt" where you use a handheld GPS device to locate a "treasure" using the clues and coordinates you download from www.geocaching.com, the official website of the Geocaching craze that is taking the world by storm.
Geocaching has been around for years. In fact, I used to play it with my husband and son nearly 7 years ago when we lived in Cobb county.
Henry countyhas recently jumped on the Geocaching bandwagon. As of August 1, 2010, you can visit the geocaching website (www.geocaching.com) and enter a Henry countyzip code to get the coordinates and clues for 2 geocaches hidden in 4 Henry county parks. Make a day of it...pack some food and drinks and spend one of the upcoming fall days looking for treasure buried under the pine straw, leaves, and bushes of Henry county's parks. It's a great way to do something fun and free in right here at home in Henry county.
For more information and for a copy of the rules/etiquette of Geocaching, visit www.co.henry.ga.us/ParksRecreation/geocache/shtml.

Who doesn't love an open air farmer's market where you can roam around and shop for local produce and other goodies. Now, this fun thing to do in Henry county, GA may or may not be exactly free...just depends on your will power!
<img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/1/9/5/8/ar128339169985919.jpg">
I personally have a hard time saying no to food in general, so it would probably not be a free excursion for me. My husband on the other hand, who knows no temptation, may have a completely different experience and walk away without spending a dime, just bringing with him his memory of a free, good time. In this case though, even if you DO end up spending a little money, at least you can take your purchase home and cook it for dinner :)
Henry county, GA is host to a couple of different farmer's markets. One is in Locust Grove, and is held the first Saturday of the month (June through November) from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm in the downtown area. Selection includes locally grown fruits and vegetables as well as homemade jellies and other goodies. For more information call 770.855.3786.
The Henry County Farmer's Market is located in the Jason T. Harper event center on the corner of Highway 81 and Lake Dow Road. It is scheduled to be open every Thursday through the end of September from 2:00 pm until 6:00 pm. It is also open on Fridays from 2:00 pm until 6:00 pm at the Hampton Train Depot in downtown Hampton. The Henry County Farmer's Market is sponsored by the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Office in McDonough, GA and by the Henry County 4-H Club. Items available at the Henry County Farmer's Market include homemade jams, jellies, breads, and baked goods in addition to locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables.
Go check out one of these fabulous farmer's markets before they are gone until next summer! A great way to do something fun in Henry county, GA for free!Barbara Adamson, Realtor

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1828830/day-3---25-fun-things-to-do-in-henry-county--ga-for-free-Day 3: 25 fun things to do in Henry county, GA for free!For this, day 3, of the series 25 fun things to do in Henry county, GA for free, I am suggesting you check out the free coffee tastings held monthly at the local Starbuck's coffee located at 1479 Highway 20 West in McDonough, GA (directly across the street from the Kohl's / JC Penney shopping center).
If you've never been to a coffee tasting at your local Starbuck's, you are in for a treat (quite literally)! As with wine tasting, coffee tasting (also known as coffee cupping) is a professional practice that can also be done informally by anyone who is interested. Coffee tasting comes with its own jargon and has many loyal followers (again like wine tasting) and is truly an art.
<img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/5/8/0/4/ar128321857840858.jpg">
The coffee tastings at Starbuck's are open to the public and generally focus on a coffee (or coffees) from a particular growing region each time. These coffees are paired with foods that compliment their flavor profiles and bring out the best of each product (the coffee and the food). So you will leave happy, having had some really good coffee, some yummy food, and to top it all off, you will have gained knowledge of the many different aspects of coffee that most people don't usually think about. All for FREE!
Coffee tastings are held on the first Saturday of each month beginning at 10:00 am. The next one will be this Saturday, September 4th.
For more information, call the Starbuck's at 1479 Highway 20 West at 678.432.6045

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1822263/homeless---in-mcdonough--ga---Homeless...in McDonough, GA???Tuesday, while driving around showing houses to a couple of different clients, I saw something (or someone rather) that I have not noticed before around my little town of McDonough, GA. It was a lady wearing a red shirt, pushing a red shopping cart, walking down the side of a rather busy road. Odd. I mean the closest store that would have shopping carts was at least 5 miles from that point...and the road had no sidewalks or anything that separated her from the road.
Of course, I was in a hurry as usual so I just brushed it off and kept driving. Well, later that day, I went out with my family to run some errands. I saw the same lady, wearing the same red shirt, pushing the same red shopping cart. Except this time, she was quite far from the place I had seen her earlier that day. I told my husband "Hey, I saw her earlier today on Highway 42". "Wow", he says, "that's a long way from here." We had two of our 4 children with us, so of course we couldn't stop...
The next morning, I was on my way to drop off one of the kids at school, and who do you think I saw? Yep....red shirt, red shopping cart, walking. She had a little bit of a smile on her face too, I think. And this time she was in a completely different part of town...had she been walking all night? Well this time, I still had one child (a 10 month old baby) in the car, was alone (no husband to help) and had a killer schedule to manage that day (hurry, hurry). For the third time in less than 24 hours, I did not stop.
I guess I am only writing this to express my concern for this lady (whom I have not seen again since Wednesday morning) and my disappointment in myself for not DOINGsomething...what I don't know. It is so strange for us in McDonough to see this type of thing, I mean we are about 30 miles south of Atlanta and we have no public transportation here...so how did she get here? Where was she going? Does she have a family or someone she can go to for help? I suppose I may never know.
In an industry where day in and day out we help the more fortunate among us find everything from a dream home, to investment properties, to just plain old shelter (not fancy, but it does the trick), it is especially painful for me to see someone without the very thing so many of us (myself included) take for granted.
I hope she finds her way home.Barbara Adamson, Realtor
